I don't think I've ever enjoyed an author more who gave off such fruity Ren Faire nerd vibes (complimentary)

John M. Ford's "Web of Angels," or "what if a loquacious theater kid's first novel was proto-cyberpunk"

A melodrama/noir about a concert violinist scripted by Clifford Odets? Is it my *birthday*?

Been tumbling down the Mahjong rabbit-hole for a while now, but thanks to this slim volume I finally understand why most "here's how to play with Chinese rules" explainers default to "Just...fuckin'...I dunno, make sure that the group you sit down with agrees on what sort of scoring to use."

We still occassionally get mail for the previous tenant of our unit, but we've gotten THREE of these and none of the writers thought to question why they'd be sending a Michigan reminder to a California address? Update your info, [redacted]! (Also, I did a bunch of these for Ohio, felt very good)

Absolutely insane to me that I, who have been here over a year, and someone who only joined right before the Brazil rush are *all* within the first 10%.
